An internationally famous actor and activist, Heather Graham has long been established as a major Hollywood talent. Since making her film debut as a teenager in the mid-1980s, she has gone on to appear in classics such as The Hangover, Bowfinger, Boogie Nights, and Six Degrees of Separation. However, she’s probably best known for her unforgettable role as Felicity Shagwell in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. She has also appeared in numerous television series, including Twin Peaks, Californication, Scrubs, and more recently, British series Bliss. As an activist, she is a prominent advocate for Children International and is vocal around issues of child education and slavery.
Graham’s career began in earnest in the late 1980s with roles in successful films such as Drugstore Cowboy and Licence To Drive. In the early 1990s, among other roles, she appeared in six episodes of the now-cult classic David Lynch series Twin Peaks. She also played supporting roles in films like Six Degrees of Separation, but it was the part of Brandy AKA Rollergirl in 1997’s Boogie Nights that saw her breakthrough and led to her getting parts in the Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy comedy Bowfinger, and ultimately, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, which became one of the most iconic films of the year and saw Graham propelled into many “World’s Most Beautiful” lists over the following years.
During the 2000s, Graham’s success continued, with notable hits including the likes of The Hangover, a comedy that took nearly half a billion at the box office and won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. Her recent films have included comedy (Desperados, Love Guaranteed) and thrillers (Wander and Oracle).
